Self Catering Sicily was born from a simple idea: to give you, the tourist or traveller, the information and support you need to make your holiday in Sicily serene. By listening to your needs and tailoring a holiday individual to you. We want to make you welcome, even before you set foot in Sicily; to experience a true sense of hospitality that distinguishes the Sicilian people and makes our count
ry unique in addition to any natural attraction, landscape, architectural or archaeological attraction. I believe in sharing my passion for travel and a strong connection with my Sicilian heritage through provision of transparent and reliable information for the tourist or traveller in Sicily. I am an architect by profession and naturally have a keen eye for detail, reflected in the quality of any of my architectural projects. Similarly, I pay particular attention to the quality of a unique and exclusive 'client' relationship and the services being advertised to you. Our mission at Self Catering Sicily is to create a professional 'client reception' network amongst those who provide facilities where travellers can stay. Italian cities, and Sicilian in particular, are characterised by the historical centres of high architectural value and social value. We dedicate ourselves to these historic centres: the life you are living today in the city centre, on the streets, in bars and local attractions both day and night. For example, historic centres of Catania (UNESCO World Heritage) & Palermo reveal two different ways of being Sicilian, and incorporate the strength and culture of both these places. We are dedicated primarily to short term letting of self catering holiday apartments, all furnished to a high standard. Our apartments are often inhabited by the owners for majority of the time and leased temporarily. We deal directly with the owners to assure you the best price. We specialise in listening to the needs of our clients, and trying to steer them toward the solution that best suits their needs expressed. We do not work as intermediaries in the relationship: contracts are only entered into by the owner and client. The accommodation on offer is personally verified by us, photographed and described in detail. The final premium rates are reflected in the "all inclusive" proposed price. When there are extra charges for services provided on demand, this is explicitly specified. We support you with any additional requests for special services free of charge and are dedicated to ensuring the quality, professionalism and reliability of what is proposed and promoted through our network. We are confident that you will experience the best that self catering Sicilian life has to offer this way: you enter the houses of Sicilians; are open to the lifestyle of the place you are staying; you have the opportunity to buy fresh local food and cook it at home; you can relax watching a sunset, or listen to people on the street speaking the regional dialect whilst flicking through a book. In our site you will also find tips and suggestions relating to tourist routes, local wines, restaurants that we can recommend, naturalistic destinations, excursions of interest, lesser known places worth exploring, special events, festivals, history and anecdotes. Our main intention is to make you feel reassured that Sicily is waiting for you and that there is a network of hospitality ready to welcome you personally, dedicating time and ensuring you a comfortable and pleasurable stay free of contingencies. You will not be simply contacting and talking to us: we will also be listening to you.
